Sky’s Now TV service is now available on PlayStation 3 following its launch on Xbox 360 last year. Now TV is the internet TV service from Sky that carries Sky Movies and Sky Sports without the need for a contract.

Now TV is Sky response to the growing competition from services such as Netflix and LoveFilm. Payment is made on a pay as you go or pay monthly basis. The service is designed for people who don’t currently have pay TV. There’s a £9.99 Sky Sports Day pass, so you can watch sport on a pay-as-you-go basis.

With movie, Now TV allows you to watch up to 20 new premieres at least 12 months before they’re available on Netflix or Lovefilm Instant. You can sign up on a monthly basis (£15), and new customers can get a free 30 day trial and benefit from a three-month introductory offer of £8.99 a month.

Sky says that Now TV will add shows from Sky 1, Sky Atlantic, Sky Arts and Sky Living by the end of the year.
